1 Claim. (Cl. 27189) Our invention relates to jogging machines for shown in Fig. 4 projects rigidly from one side of" sheet material. An object of the invention is to the plate 34, the outer end of this arm being pivprovide a machine by means of which sheet maotally connected by a crank arm 46 and crank pin' terial such as paper sheets may be accurately to a disk 48. The disk 48 as shown in Fig. 6 is piled up or superposed sheet on sheet. In carryintegral with the upper end of a short shaft 50; ing out our invention we provide a table having this shaft being mounted in a bearing 52 carried associated therewith jogging plates which are by a bracket support 54 extending down from simultaneously reciprocated in such manner that the table 10. A worm wheel 56 secured to the when they have their inward position, the space lower end of the shaft 50 meshes with a worm 58 between them is just sufficient to hold the sheets secured to the shaft of an electric motor 60 which are being piled up and when the jogging mounted underneath the table as shown in Fig. plates are in their outward position, the space 4. The front of the base 12 is provided with a between them is enlarged to such an extent that socket 62 and a switch 64 while a cable 66 leads it is an easy matter to deposit the sheets in such from the switch to the motor so that the latter space, it being understood that the sheets are may be operated from any convenient source of I successively delivered into this space and then electrical energy. brought into exact superposed relation by the As will be understood from Figs. 1, i and 7, inward movement of the jogging plates.

An arm 44 as tions which have previously been described in no detail. The jogging plates are of course set so that when they have their inward position as shown in Fig. 1, the space between them is just sufiicient to hold the sheets which are being assembled. The machine as shown is "adapted for making up articles such as order books which fcontain in alternation sheets of four different fcolors it being understood that sheets of one particular color are provided on each of the four shelves. The operator takes one sheet at a time in succession from the shelves and puts it in the space between the jogging plates, this operation being continued until the desired number of sheets have been piled up between the jogging plates. As will be understood from Fig. 1, the operator places one sheet at a time between said plates when they are in outward position. As said plates move inwardly, the sheet which has just been deposited is caused to be superposed exactly upon the underlying sheets. It will be understood that any desired number of shelves may be used and that if desired some other means may be provided for supplying the sheets which are to be jogged. It will also be understood that other material besides diflerently colored sheets may be accurately superposed by the use of the machine.

We claim:

A jogging machine for sheet material comprising a table having sl'ots extending outwardly from the central portion thereof, slides mounted in said slots, jogging plates extending upwardly from said slides, a rocker plate underneath said table pivotally mounted at the center thereof, links connecting said rocker plate and said slides, an arm rigid with said rocker plate and projecting therefrom, a vertical shaft rotatably mounted underneath said table, a crank disc secured to the upper end of said shaft, a crank arm connecting said disc with said rigid arm, a worm wheel secured to said vertical shaft, a Worm meshing with said worm Wheel, a horizontal shaft to which said worm is secured, and a motor for driving said horizontal shaft continuously in one direction.
